    ... picked it up, studying it, and remembered what he had said about a matching ring to go with the necklace and earrings he had given her last Christmas. It was beautiful. The band was a rose gold of a medium width, engraved to look like tree bark. Small rubies were spaced evenly around the band, and on top was a modest sized diamond, framed on either side by a smaller emerald. Harry pulled out his wand and tapped the ring. Ginny watched it intently, but nothing changed. Harry smiled, covering her hand with his. "I disillusioned it. Now, no one can see it except us." She set it down and felt the comforting weight resting against her chest, before looking up into her… husband's… eyes, beaming. Harry gave her another searing kiss before he took down the silencing wards and led her back to the sitting room where the rest of her family was spending the evening.

Albus leaned forward, clasping his hands together on top of his desk. "Of course, Minerva, but don't you think that it is unwise to let personal feelings influence professional decisions?" Minerva stood up, her nostrils flaring as her eyes narrowed. "Do not dare to presume that I let personal feelings influence anything. I am not Severus. Mr. Potter and Miss Granger deserve those badges, and they will get them." Albus sighed, shaking his head. "Harry has enough to worry about, and Severus' choices are his own, much like you are trying to tell me are yours." Minerva almost hissed. "Indeed. But I will be very interested in seeing whom he chooses for the fifth year Prefects. If it is anyone other than Mr. Zabini and Miss Greengrass, I should like to know his reasons; those two are, after all, the most active in their year, and have been wonderful role models for the younger students."
